The block group descriptor count sanity check added in 21bad2b6797f
("resize2fs: prevent block group descriptors from overflowing the first
bg") prevents enlarging the filesystem when the block group descriptors
would not fit in the first block group.
However, this does not take into account the META_BG feature in which
case not all the descriptors need to be stored in the first block group.
This prevents, for example, enlarging filesystems with 4KiB block size
past 256TiB.
Relax the check to allow resizing META_BG filesystems past the limit.
Also, always allow on-line resizing as the kernel takes care of
converting the filesystem to use META_BG when needed.
